Yes. But none of that is in the way of “the Linux desktop”. A more unified system with less modules and components (you know, like systemd being a solution to everything) is actually beneficial for wide spread adoption.

People hate systemd for design and philosophy but not because it keeps new people from adopting Linux.

Yeah when they made witcher 1 they didnt think it would be part of a series and realy didnt see it as a canon addition to the books story.

It makes the most sense to view the story on its own without the existence of Ciri.

Yeah with lossy compression the future is today!
